Good day to chop up some Nep's?

[Dodge]

Today seems like a good day to start chopping up some Nepenthes again...

Question is which ones

 

[chibae]

better question is what are you going to do with the pieces? need my address?

 

[Adam]

Hey! Don't be so selfish!
Get my address instead!
Jk, for both parts!

Well here are a few of the cuttings, I took 4 total

These 2 are in the planter with the mother plant seen in the background

An adult pitcher

And Maxima dark X Truncata, your next... if I ever get my lazy but up and chop you

I'm new, so bear with me...

I understand that this is a method of propagation, but what happens to the base part of the original plant? Will it just keep growing from where you made the chop?

Cool plant btw... or should I say plants... =)

I've actually been wondering the same thing LOL

Yep, it will bud out from the nodes on the leaves below the cut, i will post a pic showing that tomorrow

 

[pappydew]

Ah, that makes sense.

Here is a picture showing the Mother Plant recovering and with 2 new growth points from the nodes , actually it helps to make a bushy plant rather than a long viney one

Cool. Thanks for the pic!
